Gabrielle Union, Lebron James To Produce Comedy ‘White Dave’

LeBron James and Gabrielle Union are teaming up for TV. The NBA baller and Being Mary Jane actress will executive produce a comedy series in development at ABC, according to reports.

Titled “White Dave,” the single-camera series would follow a young African-American teenager who has grown up in an all-white suburb who suddenly moves to an all-black neighborhood when his mom remarries. The project is based on the life of David E. Talbert, who will write and executive produce.
